Coming off the most successful year of FGCU basketball in history, single-game tickets and mini-plan packages for the 2013-14 men’s and women’s basketball seasons go on sale Monday, Sept. 16

With season ticket sales at record levels and more than doubled from a year ago, additional Priority 2 reserved seats have been created to meet the growing demand. In turn, a limited number are still available for the 2013-14 men’s and women’s basketball seasons; Club Level is sold out, while mid court Priority 1 are nearly gone and remaining Priority 2 options are disappearing quickly.

With the exception of FGCU’s home-opening Breakfast at the Beach contest on Tuesday, Nov. 12 against Hartford, all men’s and women’s games have been packaged into four tiers to accommodate fans, in addition to single-game purchases. The grouping and price scale is as follows:

A detailed map of Alico Arena can be accessed by logging on to FGCUAthletics.com/Tickets.

Tickets are selling fast, particularly for Breakfast at the Beach, which will air live on ESPN2 at 7 a.m. as part of ESPN’s 24-Hour Tipoff Marathon. Tickets may be purchased by calling 239-590-7145, visiting the Ticket Office Monday through Friday 9 a.m.-5 p.m. or logging on to FGCUAthletics.com/Tickets. In addition to single games and mini packs, season tickets remain on sale and can be purchased through any of the aforementioned outlets.

Last year, the FGCU men’s and women’s basketball teams combined for 53 wins. Only three other schools in the nation boasted at least 26 wins in both: Duke, Louisville and Gonzaga. Combined, the 53 victories was the 9th-best total in the country.

On the men’s side, FGCU returns four starters from a team that earned the moniker “Dunk City” after going 26-11 and becoming the first in NCAA Tournament history to advance to the Sweet 16 as a No. 15 seed. Junior Brett Comer (Winter Park, Fla./Winter Park HS) has been named by Bleacher Report as one of the Top-10 Most Exciting Players for the 2013-14 season, while senior Chase Fieler (Parkersburg, W. Va./Parkersburg South HS) has been tabbed as one of the Top-20 Mid-Major Stars for the upcoming year by the same outlet.

For the women, redshirt senior Sarah Hansen (McKean, Pa./General McLane HS) led the Eagles to a 27-7 mark in 2012-13 as they earned a third-consecutive regular-season title and became the first team in A-Sun history to go undefeated (18-0) in league play back-to-back seasons. The Green and Blue – who also have paced the nation in 3-pointers made each of the past two years – advanced to the postseason (WNIT) for the sixth straight year, extending the longest consecutive postseason streak in NCAA history for a new D-I program.
